2013 36RE Sliding Windows

[N9ID]

In our 2013 36RE, there are several windows that slide vertically to open. The issue with these windows (in my opinion) is that they are either all the way open or all the way closed. There is no way to have the window open just a little bit. This is not a major problem in the living area, but it would be nice to have the windows on either side of the bed open a bit at night.

Has anyone come up with a way to have these windows part way open? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Go to walmart and buy a wooden ruler for less than a buck. Cut it in half to keep 2 windows open 6", or cut it thirds to keep 3 windows open 4".

I was going to say use a stick put the ruler idea is great.

I'll have to check that out in the morning. The issue is that the screen is on the inside so you can't prop the window open from the bottom of the frame. Thanks for the idea. I'll let you know what I discover.

The screen should be on the outside, the crank out windows it is on the inside.

The screen is on the inside. It should be on the inside because if it were on the outside the slide sweeps would tear them or they would wear out the sweeps.

Mike,
The ruler aka flat stick will work. "They" give wooden yardsticks away at home improvement shows and even some banks. I believe that one stick per pane will work best when placed in the center, under the lift bar on top of the sliding pane and behind the high security plastic latch.

Or, you just stuff (expletive deleted) in the
track until there is enough resistance to hold the window up.

Your right, man do I feel stupid now.

[Duckogram]

Never stupid, just not as correct as you would liked to have been. Not to worry,
we've all been there, done that.

What about some felt on the window or the frame to add some friction so the window does not close..?

Already covered that. Felt falls into the category of "(expletive deleted) stuffed into
the track... LOL

Duck, checked it out and the sticks will work just fine. Now to create a variety of stick lengths so we can choose how wide we want the window(s) open.

Thanks for your help,
